Creativity and Hustle Created the Bantam Bagel

Creativity and hustle are necessary ingredients for any business to succeed. My guests – husband and wife duo – Nick and Elyse Oleksak the founders of Bantam Bagels realized that there was a huge unmet need on how to satisfy people’s bagel craving without the guilt.

It began with a dream Nick had about stuffed bagels. Nick and Elyse knew they were on to something and began testing flavors and varieties. Without any culinary experience the Oleksak’s developed a bite size bagel stuffed with delicious flavored cream cheeses. The ultimate comfort food was reinvented and Bantam Bagels was born.

Solar Energy Soaring on Long Island

As you know energy is a hot topic. And it is solar energy that is making a splash. Listen to my interview with local solar energy expert Michael Passantino of Trinity Solar as he shares the growth potential on Long Island. More money was invested in solar power in 2017 than in coal, gas and nuclear power combined. That is according to a new report for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Since the acceptance and usage of solar is soaring I wanted to have a conversation on the Profit Express with a local leader. Trinity Solar is the leader on LI for installations. Under Michael’s direction they are not only leading LI for installations they now have 145 employees. According to Michael the economy for solar power is very strong. Homeowners are becoming more acceptable of solar power as an option.
